I think I may have answered my own question:It looks like if you use the original ga.js code and have your tLD in the _setDomainName, subdomain tracking works properly.

However, if you use analytics.js by itself, or through GTM, and use "auto" for the cookie domain, you have to put the tLD in the Referral Exclusion List, even though the _ga cookie is properly set identically across sub-domains, and tracking should not (you would think) consider the sub-domains as referrers (especially since I could not find anything in the GA doc that says you have to do this).

I had initially put the tLD in the list for a completely different reason (for cross-domain tracking from ccTLDs to the .com and back), and probably removed it when I was testing another solution a couple of weeks ago... but since History Change doesn't show any of these changes, I can't be sure.

It's always live and learn with GA/GTM: documentation wise, it's quite poor. Granted it's improved a lot since the early days, but it still has quite a way to go.﻿

Having problems using macronos with Google Play Music.This used to work.

Refreshed my phone and re-installed macronos recently, and now when I try to play music from Google Play, it says in the notification shade "DEVICE_NOT_AUTHORIZED", while at the same time, on the Sonos windows controller is displayed in a popup: "Unable to play 'xyz song' - the track is not encoded properly".

When I configured my Google Play account in the macronos settings, it didn't popup any permission window - not sure if that's because it was previously authorized.

Perhaps you’ve punched out a paper doll or folded an origami swan? TED Fellow Manu Prakash and his team have created a microscope made of paper that's just as easy to fold and use. A sparkling demo that shows how this invention could revolutionize healthcare in developing countries … and turn almost anything into a fun, hands-on science experiment.

I think my problem was 24/7: 7" over the desk and 24" behind the monitor...Tag Manager now supports document.write, and I just combined the 2 scripts required in a single Tag and enabled that option.Worked in testing. Hopefully the new rendering engine for custom HTML tags is stable.﻿

For those of you who live beautiful apps, this alarm clock looks great and synchronizes between your different devices; I'm trying it out right now...

I'm also interested to see if the viral approach they are using to get access to more features works well. Basically everyone gets a referral code, and every time this code gets used by a new user of the app, you get 2 points, and the new user also gets points (enough for a new theme). 20 points unlocks all premium features. Interesting approach.

This is my code: KFV8-RYZS-F0UQhttp://r.bitsp.in/KFV8RYZSF0UQTo unlock, you go to Settings, and at the bottom there's an option to enter the Referral Code. Just above is where you get your own code - under Share Application.

I'm getting this message on my Nexus 4 in the notification area:"Unable to start Dial device"... and my macro that starts my Sonos when connecting to WiFi doesn't work anymore. Anything I can do to fix this?﻿
